Parenting As Adoptees

Parenting As Adoptees

Through fourteen chapters, the authors of Parenting As Adoptees give readers a glimpse into a pivotal phase in life that touches the experiences of many domestic and international adoptees â€“ that of parenting. The authors, who are all adoptees from various walks of life, intertwine their personal narratives and professional experiences, and the results of their efforts are insightful, emotive, and powerful. As Melanie Chung-Sherman, LCSW, LCPAA, PLLC, notes: â€œRarely has the experience of parenting as an adopted person been laid to bare so candidly and vividly. The authors provide a provocative, touching and, at times visceral and unyielding, invitation into their lives as they unearth and piece together the magnitude of parenting when it is interwoven with their adoption narrative. It is a prolific piece that encapsulates the rawness that adoption can bring from unknown histories, abandonment, grief, and identity reconciliation which ultimately reveals the power of resiliency and self-determination as a universal hallmark in parenting.â€ Moreover, despite its topical focus, the book will interest individuals within and outside of the adoption community who are not parents. â€œParenting As Adoptees,â€ writes Dr. Indigo Willing, â€œcontributes and sits strongly alongside books by non-adoptees that look at issues to do with â€˜the familyâ€™, race, ethnicity and migration. As such, this book should appeal to a broad audience interested in these various fields of inquiry.â€ Authors in the anthology include: Bert Ballard, Susan Branco Alvarado, Stephanie Kripa Cooper-Lewter, Lorial Crowder, Shannon Gibney, Astrid Dabbeni, Mark Hagland, Hei Kyong Kim, JaeRan Kim, Jennifer Lauck, Mary Mason, Robert Oâ€™Connor, John Raible, and Sandy White Hawk.
